WixDependencyExtension does not help you get your chain correct (a BA or conditions do that). However, once the MSIs are installed the WixDependencyExtension will ensure that the MSIs are not removed until the last dependent Package or owning Bundle is removed.
The hard problem being solved is not getting the chain right but making sure the packages are not removed before their time is up. <smile/> On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 12:21 PM, Michael Stoll <unwicht...@mistoll.de>wrote: > Hi, > > Package A ist installed conditionally (e.g. based on user selection) and > requires Package B.
